Repeat after me….
Prairie Dogs and Wetlands lead to a criminal investigation….
An internal city of Boulder inquiry into whether drainage work at Foothills Parkway and Arapahoe Avenue illegally hurt prairie dogs and damaged wetlands is a criminal investigation, City Attorney Ariel Calonne said Friday.
“There is a pending criminal investigation,” Calonne said. “It should be complete in about 10 days.”
Somewhere along the line, the Daily Camera reporters decided they needed to investigate “something”. I can only hope they were actually investigating why the project was taking so damn long.
Officials declined to answer questions in the following weeks about how the investigation was being conducted. On Friday, the Camera requested copies of records related to the work. Calonne said those records won’t be turned over until the criminal investigation is complete.
By the way, several of the commenters at the Camera website point out that facts such as WHO is being investigated are not contained in the article.
